Hi all,
I've just been setting up a diskless machine to boot using DHCP with a
fixed IP address. Curiously I found that dhcpd didn't find an address
to hand out when I used a hostname on the fixed-address line, but was
OK if I used an IP address.
This works:
host topaz.nemeton.com.au {
hardware ethernet 00:d0:b7:e5:6b:67;
fixed-address 203.8.3.34;
option root-path "/usr/local/topaz";
}
This doesn't:
host topaz.nemeton.com.au {
hardware ethernet 00:d0:b7:e5:6b:67;
fixed-address topaz.nemeton.com.au;
option root-path "/usr/local/topaz";
}
DNS is fine as far as I know:
$ host topaz.nemeton.com.au
topaz.nemeton.com.au has address 203.8.3.34
$ host 203.8.3.34
34.3.8.203.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer topaz.nemeton.com.au
NFS and DHCP server: NetBSD-1.5_BETA/i386
Diskless client: NetBSD-1.5_BETA2/i386
Have I missed something? Known issue? New bug?
Regards,
Giles
